i can't know for sure if it helps, but i took it while i was pregnant and i had some bleeding, afterwards i had a misscarriage. i read that some people do tend to bleed more if they take products like that instead of omega-3. so i guess sometimes it;s better to pay more for vegan omega-3, and not take any risks, espicially if you're planning to concieve (or have an operation and sorts..). i also think this product should have a warning label about the bleeding risk..
